This new venture promotes thoughtful living by challenging food norms that bring about unnecessary food wastage. Derived from the word "cosmos" - a system of thought, Kausmo is the brainchild of co-founders Lisa Tang and Kuah Chew Shian.

The design of the 16-seater restaurant revolves around the concept of a "blank canvas", setting the stage for the transformation of aesthetically imperfect ingredients into delicious dishes. Every dish created at Kausmo incorporates thoughtfully sourced ingredients; seafood from small farming communities in the region, secondary cuts of meat which are often overlooked in favour of prime cuts, as well as forgotten native greens and florals. Combining European techniques with Asian influences, Lisa, who has worked at Pollen, Jaan, and Les Amis, demonstrates how lesser-loved ingredients are no less delicious than their popular counterparts.

Expect to be greeted with a sense of comfort too as parts of the menu draws inspiration from the team's cultural roots, such as Lisa's Teochew heritage. Each meal at Kausmo presents a thoughtful approach for guests to think about how they can all make more conscientious choices in their everyday lives and contribute to a more sustainable ecosystem, in Singapore and beyond. The restaurant even has a dedicated retail and feature space that showcases works by local businesses, artists and craftsmen with thoughtfulness as their focus.

Ultimately, Kausmo offers good food with a good cause, creating an authentic and warm space for conversations about thoughtful choices and conscientious living to happen around the dining table. (Jun 2019)
